Santa Monica, a new board game about the famous boardwalk, has great art but poorly designed rules. Read keithlaw's review.
has a great premise at its core. It asks players to build their Santa Monica boardwalks with cards they take from the market, gaining meeples to place on those cards and to try to move to cards with ‘activity rings’ to score points. It’s too bad that moving those meeples is so difficult, because it means the thing that makes this game clever is too often missing from the gameplay.
Nothing in the game has an actual cost unless you choose to use sand dollars for one of the game’s two special actions. You take cards for free from the bottom row of the 2×4 market of cards—the top row is there so you can see what card will drop down to replace the chosen card on the bottom—and then may gain things for free from that card.
The meeples’ placements matter in two ways for the final scoring. If you can get the right colors and numbers of meeples into activity rings, you can score, usually two to five points. However, if you end the game with meeples outside of those rings, you can lose points, such as one point per card with unplaced meeples. You also start the game with one green VIP meeple that can get you points simply by moving around the cards.
